Glassing with Binoculars - 7/23/09

Welcome to Thursday and the finish line is in site for the website updates. We managed to finish 98% of them yesterday; however in much disappointment we found that the videos we uploaded has scenes that were just way to dark. Now for those of you who have watched them we apologize and are working to fix them as quickly as possible. In the meantime however, I’d like to share another simple and short tip to help you with your hunting and spotting your trophy before they spot you. ____________________ -Justin World Class Whitetails of Ohio See that buck before it sees you. Most of us see a big buck after it has seen us and is running away. The trick is to see that buck before it sees you. A good set of binoculars can be your best piece of hunting equipment. Glassing with binoculars helps you see not just game but game trails and beds. They can also help you judge antlers and identify movement. 8x42 and 7x35 are your best choice for all-around use. For open country though, 10x42 is best. Compact, inexpensive, and bulky or heavy binoculars should be avoided. As you glass, look nearby as well as far away. Look for a patch of white hair or antler, look for a horizon line out of place in a vertical woods, etc. Search intensively with your eyes and binoculars and you'll be able to spot more deer before they spot you.
